President's Message

It's nice to see some wins!

We've passed through several important gates on the tax issue in Washington, D.C. The credit union tax status was not included in the initial House bill, and the Senate did not change that. The GENIUS Act passed without the unwanted and unwarranted addition of the Credit Card Competition Act language. It pays to be vigilant in Congress, and your helpful support, both financially and practically, really helped to capture these wins. We're not entirely out of the woods yet, but we're watching diligently to ensure nothing untoward happens.

More locally,  as you know, our friends at the Kentucky Bankers Association recently sued Members Choice Credit Union and the Boyd County Clerk over municipal deposits being held at the credit union. (Yes, they actually sued the Clerk, not just the credit union!)

In his ruling, the judge completely sided with the credit union, the county clerk, competition, and common sense by pointing out that the statutes clearly state the credit union can hold public deposits. The ruling, in part, reflected how common it is for public service organizations of all types, including law enforcement, firefighters, libraries, school systems, and others to utilize credit unions for safe, secure, dividend-rich depositories. Thank you for responding to our anonymous survey on that topic!

During the hearing, the judge pointed out that none of the KBA's 8 banks in Boyd county found it important enough to be named as a plaintiff in the lawsuit, or to show up for the hearing, and he questioned why the KBA waited four years after the accounts were opened to have an issue with it. 

The KBA has some more time to appeal the ruling, so we'll see what happens next. In the meantime, we've already begun meeting with state lawmakers regarding an anticipated push from the bankers next year to amend the rule to clearly outlaw our ability to accept public funds. 

Sincerely,
Jim Kasch

Advocacy On Track 2025: A Growing Success Across Three States

This month, Kentucky’s Credit Unions—alongside our partners from the Ohio and Tennessee Credit Union Leagues—were proud to host nearly 200 credit union professionals in Louisville for our 3rd Annual Advocacy On Track event. That’s right—this event continues to gain momentum each year, and 2025 was no exception, with over 180 attendees representing all three states.

As with previous years, attendees enjoyed a warm welcome reception at the iconic Angel’s Envy Distillery, followed by a full day of high-impact programming and exciting racing action from the Finish Line Balcony at Churchill Downs.

The agenda featured three insightful panel discussions:
  • Card Fraud & Interchange Reform: Exploring the growing risks and regulatory efforts surrounding card security.
  • Protecting the Credit Union Tax Status: A strategic look at successful messaging and tactics in defending our movement.
  • Federal Update from Washington: A deep dive into current legislative and regulatory developments affecting credit unions.
Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors—American Share Insurance, VISA, Cincinnati FHLB, CBS, Velera, and Eltropy—this premier advocacy event remains completely free for member credit unions in Kentucky, Ohio, and Tennessee.

If you weren’t able to attend this year, don’t worry—we’re already gearing up for an even bigger event in 2026. Stay tuned for more details and mark your calendar!

New class of Certified Credit Union Executives emerges from SRCUS

SRCUS 2025 Grad Taylor

The Southeastern Regional Credit Union School (SRCUS) is pleased to announce that 41 distinguished credit union executives graduated on June 20 from Southeast Management School after successful completion of the three-year program on the campus of the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia.

This year’s program also marked a milestone: the first graduating class to earn the Certified Credit Union Executive (CCUE) designation, powered by America’s Credit Unions. Following formal approval in June 2024, SRCUS integrated CCUE testing requirements into the curriculum—beginning with first-year students, while offering a summer testing opportunity to second-year participants and recent graduates. Those who successfully completed the cumulative exam earned both the CCUE credential and ACE Credits® toward future academic advancement.

In addition, SRCUS offered a special Alumni Program during the same week as this year’s Southeast Management School, inviting graduates from 2014 and later to return to campus. Through this dedicated track, 57 alumni completed the required coursework and cumulative testing to earn the CCUE designation alongside the 2025 graduating class.

“This year’s graduation marks an exciting milestone in the history of Southeast Management School,” said Brittani Champlin, SRCUS Executive Coordinator. “The introduction of the CCUE designation deepens the impact of the program and elevates what it means to be a graduate of SRCUS. We’re incredibly proud of the 2025 class and the alumni who returned to complete the designation—each one represents the future of strong, strategic leadership in the credit union movement.”

For over 50 years, Southeast Management School has trained graduates to tackle leadership challenges in the credit union industry. The curriculum enhances operational, managerial, and leadership skills through advanced academic instruction. Students apply this knowledge to strategic projects for their credit unions, addressing industry issues. They also develop debate and presentation skills, and a deep understanding of the credit union philosophy to contribute to their credit unions' success.

During the ceremony, which streamed live on Facebook, graduates heard reflections and words of inspiration respectively from 3rd and 2nd year class leaders, Marlena Gannon-Frament of Marine FCU and Justin Callaway of Marshland CU, as well as SRCUS Academic Advisor Dr. Craig Piercy.

“We come from different states and even different continents, roles, and backgrounds,” said Gannon-Frament. “But somehow in the middle of the projects, presentations, and coffees we became more than just classmates, we became a team… Let’s continue to be ethical leaders, fearless innovators, and unwavering champions of our members. The world needs exactly what we bring to the table, especially now.”

Callaway echoed Gannon-Frament’s sentiments while also thanking SRCUS staff and his second-year classmates for the chance to grow and deepen connections.”

“This week was a lot of opportunity to further cement that bond we started in year one,” said Callaway. “We appreciate our credit unions for allowing us the opportunity to come here and learn from some of the most well-respected and amazing individuals.”

Graduation from Southeast Management School is recognized throughout the credit union industry as a prestigious mark of achievement. Upon successful completion of the program, students earn their CCUE designation and receive a graduation diploma issued in collaboration with the University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education.

A running start for veterans—powered by credit unions

Credit unions are uniquely equipped to serve military families and veterans. Nearly 25% of veterans want to start a small business—but many face barriers to accessing capital. 

In Kentucky, Abound Credit Union stepped in where others wouldn’t, helping a veteran launch a running store that’s now revitalizing the local community. 

🎥 Watch the story 

Military families using credit unions are nearly 3X more likely to say their institution puts people first. And they’re twice as likely to feel confident about accessing affordable loans

These outcomes are made possible by the credit union tax status—a critical part of their not-for-profit structure and mission to serve

As you consider H.R. 1 – the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, we urge you to protect this tax status and preserve credit unions’ ability to support veterans, small businesses, and communities across the country.

Small Business Lending Rule Delayed Again

Last week, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) published an interim final rule extending the mandatory compliance dates once again for its small business lending data collection rule.

The new mandatory compliance dates and first filing deadlines are as follows:

Screenshot 2025-06-30 151426

With the extension of the mandatory compliance dates, the interim final rule also clarifies that a credit union may use any of the following for its determination period:

  • 2022 and 2023,
  • 2023 and 2024, or
  • 2024 and 2025.

The CFPB indicates that it plans to use this additional time to initiate a new rulemaking, which we anticipate will make significant changes to the current small business lending data collection framework. The agency says that it “anticipates issuing a notice of proposed rulemaking as expeditiously as reasonably possible.”

Reminder: Regulation CC Changes Effective July 1st

On July 1, 2025, several thresholds under the Expedited Funds Availability Act (Regulation CC) will be adjusted once again for inflation. They include the following:

  • Increase from $225 to $275 the amount of certain check deposits that must be made available on the next business day following the date of deposit
  • Increase the new account exception hold threshold from $5,525 to $6,725. Beginning July 1st, a credit union may delay the availability of funds in excess of $6,725 deposited to a new account in any one banking day
  • Increase the large deposit exception hold threshold from $5,525 to $6,725. Beginning July 1st, a credit union may delay the availability of funds in excess of $6,725 deposited to an existing account in any one banking day
  • Change the definition of repeated overdrafts. Beginning July 1st, an account will be considered repeatedly overdrawn if –
    • On 6 or more banking days within the preceding 6 months, the account balance was negative or would have become negative had checks or other charges to the account been paid, or
    • On 2 or more banking days within the preceding 6 months, the account balance was negative or would have become negative in an amount of $6,725 or more

As a reminder, the Dodd-Frank Act amended the Expedited Funds Availability Act by requiring adjustments for inflation every five years. The first round of adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) occurred on July 1, 2020.

While credit unions are required to provide notice of this change under Regulation CC, since the increased thresholds will result in expedited availability of funds to the member, advance notification is not required. Notice may be provided up to 30 days following the effective date of the change, in this case, not later than July 31, 2025. Notice may be given in any form, so long as it is clear and conspicuous. If the credit union opts to send each member a new funds availability disclosure, it must highlight the adjusted amounts in the revied disclosure.

Additional information about the Expedited Funds Availability Act and Regulation CC may be found in InfoSight 360. The Funds Availability Chart, located under Additional Resources, has been updated to reflect the increased thresholds effective July 1st.

CFPB to Conduct Review of Loan Originator Compensation Rule

On June 4th, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) notified the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that it plans to review the loan originator compensation requirements found under the Truth in Lending Act and Regulation Z.

The requirements generally prohibit loan originator compensation based on a transaction term or a proxy for a transaction term. In other words, financial institutions may not pay their mortgage loan originators a higher level of compensation in connection with loans with a higher interest rate.

The CFPB’s loan originator compensation rule, in place since 2013, has received mixed reviews within the industry. Some view it as a necessary consumer protection, while others view the requirements as overly restrictive. Although there is little argument that some tweaks may be looked upon favorably by mortgage lenders, what’s confusing is that in its notification to OMB, the CFPB went as far as to tease rescission of the rule in its entirety.

So once again we find ourselves guessing as to what the CFPB’s actual intent is. Section 1403 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act reads as follows: “For any residential mortgage loan, no mortgage loan originator shall receive compensation that varies based on the terms of the loan.” Thus, we have statutory language that regulates loan originator compensation, and a complete repeal of the requirements is not possible absent an act of Congress.

The moral of the story here is stay tuned. We may see some changes to Regulation Z’s loan originator compensation requirements because of this review; however, don’t anticipate a return to the previous days of the Wild West.
